Abstract Background European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) trees produce seeds irregularly;
therefore, it is necessary to store beech seeds for forestation. Despite the acquisition of …

Soybean quality and production are determined by seed viability. A seed's capacity to
sustain germination via dry storage is known as its seed life. Thus, one of the main …

Seed aging has an important effect on the germplasm preservation and industrialized
production of Siberian wildrye (Elymus sibiricus) in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. However, so …

Seed aging is one of the major events, affecting the overall quality of agricultural seeds. To
